"I want them to be aware of their bias." Marcia Reynolds on listening, receiving, and setting boundaries with our audiences.

We bring back to the show Dr. Marcia Reynolds, Global Guru Top 10 and Master Coach Trainer and Author of multiple books, including Coach the Person, Not the Problem Second Edition, now a bestseller on Amazon. We ask Marcia about listening, receiving, and preparing our mind to listen, all essential for any coaching and conversation to go well. We discuss how judgment can obstruct our presence and listening, and that judgment is inevitable given we're all judge-y and biased at times; but ways exist to notice and pause our judgment, and then let it go.  And we hear how to remain present and lay down boundaries when conversations become tense, opinionated, cruel, and cut us to the core. Setting intentions and defining how we're willing to be spoken to becomes a powerful tool in heated moments, and one we can all learn from, at work and at home. You can find Marcia Reynolds on LinkedIn and find her Second Edition of her bestseller here on Amazon. Debbi McCullough has written for the Economist, Financial Times of London, and Guardian.
